A thousand voices seem to rise out of the
ground, moaning, drowning out the music. Then a woman's voice, clear and
distinct._
VOICE
How long, O Lord? How long?
[_Cries and wailings answer the cry. Silence. Again the bugle, drowned
out by cries, cries, cries._

Faces in the Dawn
By HERMANN HAGEDORN
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net_
A great many people already know Mr. Hagedorn through his verse. "Faces
in the Dawn" will, however, be their introduction to him as a novelist.
The same qualities that have served to raise his poetry above the common
level help to distinguish this story of a German village. The theme of
the book is the transformation that was wrought in the lives of an
irritable, domineering German pastor and his wife through the influence
of a young German girl and her American lover. Sentiment, humor, and a
human feeling, all present in just the right measure, warm the heart and
contribute to the enjoyment which the reader derives in following the
experiences of the well-drawn characters.
